In keeping with my Elizabeth Zimmermann theme, this is EZ’s Baby Sweater on Two Needles, AKA February Baby Sweater, or in this case December Baby Sweater. A quick simple little knit with such sweet results. I’ve loved knitting “boy knits” for O these last couple of years, but lately I’ve found myself very much wanting to indulge in some of the more feminine patterns I’ve saved (you know, just in case *wink wink*). What a fun change to be knitting all that lace! Although I’m a little sad that not all of O’s hand-me-down knits will quite “work” for N, I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to create a few things all her own. Each baby deserves some mama-knits meant just for her, right?

Oh Carrie, it is soo beautiful. Guess what, my little sister has started teaching me to knit. I’m working on a cowl right now. I’ve unraveled my stitches a few times, but am really getting the hang of it. I’m taking it with me on our road trip, so excited!
